Python Regular Expression

Expand Post »

I need to find a regular expression in Python. My text string is:

2007-10-12,163.01,167.28,161.80,167.25

I want to extract only the last part: 167.25 (end of line part)

I tried using
regex="(?=[,].+?(?=[\\n]))"
but it did not work. What will be the answer?

Thanks!

Re: Python Regular Expression

Use string.split() instead and split on the commas. Python has a csv module (comma separated variables), but it looks like that would be overkill here.
